Currently, the fastest way to get there is to used the Wicked hood's teleport, which could only be used 2 times, or 3 if all the Wicked robes have been purchased at Runespan. The second fastest way is to break a death altar teleport tablet. Both of these methods teleport the player just outside of the altar. The wicked hood can be obtained by talking to Tam McGrubor, and the teleport tablets by playing the Great Orb Project.

The maximum likely limit for crafting Death runes in one visit is 266. This would be achieved by having 90 Runecrafting, and carrying 266 essence to craft: 23 in the normal inventory along with 48 in the 5 sizes of Runecrafting pouches, along with 175 claimed from the wicked hood (with all the Wicked robes purchased) and 20 from an abyssal summoning familiar. The maximum possible experience is 2,660 obtained while doing the above.
